Description
Teaching College Geography provides a starting point for becoming an effective geography teacher from the very first day of class. Divided in two parts, the first set of chapters addresses “nuts-and-bolts” teaching issues in the context of the new technologies, student demographics, and institutional expectations that are the hallmarks of higher education in the 21st century. The second part explores other important issues: effective teaching in the field; supporting critical thinking with GIS and mapping technologies; engaging learners in large geography classes; and promoting awareness of international perspectives and geographic issues.
